The Online Dater — Jeffrey Ellinger

The Online Dater, a modern story of sad young people, highlights the life of one desperate person doing his very best to make it seem as though he is not so desperate. Even after years of online dating, Robert Bethel goes out almost every night hoping to find the love he knows must be waiting for him. A solipsistic merry-go-round of unknown bedrooms and inexhaustible human vanity, The Online Dater intimately portrays how we treat each other now. More broadly, The Online Dater is a textbook about how to not do everything.
